Liver Surgery Expertise

Dr S.K Mathur has experience of more than 20 years in performing all types of liver resections for benign ( hemangioma, adenoma) as well as malignant tumors ( Primary & Metastatic). Following major resectional surgery of the liver; most of the patients make uneventful recovery and require one or two day stay in the intensive care and are discharged by fifth-7th day of the surgery.

Resections for large liver tumours are performed using advanced resectional techniques like hanging maneuvour, piggy-back technique, total anterior approach etc. Benign tumours of the liver like Hemangiomas, are treated either by resection or enucleation.
